There are still five months before the clock starts ticking, but the 2014 NFL Draft is still worth our attention at this point in the season.

Both the NFL and NCAA seasons have given us a glimpse into what the world of football could hold for us by next August. They’ve shown us which players to keep an eye on, and which ones aren’t worth all of the hype. They’ve also started to shape what we can expect from the 2014 NFL Draft when May finally rolls around.

Have you ever wondered what your favorite college players would look like on your favorite NFL team? Well with mock drafts, you can do exactly that. It’s an opportunity to gauge stock of the top talents from around the country, get an idea of what teams around the NFL need as the season progresses, all while using your imagination to picture top prospects playing for particular teams.

Could you see Jake Matthews donning the blue and white of the New York Giants? How about Marcus Mariota sporting the pewter and red of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Or Johnny Manziel handing off to Adrian Peterson?

Whether or not your imagination works that way, mock drafts are here to do the work for you. So enjoy.

Here is this week’s first-round mock draft and what player(s) your favorite team could choose to add to their roster when the 2014 NFL Draft rolls around in May.

Note: Draft order is determined by current record, with ties broken based on net points on the year.

18. Green Bay Packers: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina

Jermichael Finley might be done with the Packers, and they don’t have any reliable options at tight end. That’s why bringing in arguably the best tight end in the 2014 class makes plenty of sense for Green Bay.

19. Chicago Bears: Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame

The Bears’ defensive line has been ravaged by injury throughout the season, which means the team must address the front four this offseason. Tuitt is a versatile, powerful lineman who seems to be a great fit.

23. Cleveland Browns (via IND): Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama

Now that they have their quarterback of the future on the roster, they need to make sure to protect him. Kouandjio has the potential to be an elite blocker, and should pay massive dividends in Cleveland.

27. New England Patriots: Ra’Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota

Plain and simple, the Patriots need help along the defensive line. They were starting two rookies, and even traded for an aging veteran in hopes of filling the void. Hageman is versatile and very powerful.
